 ICN file photo The Terre Haute Police Department provided extra patrols in the community last Friday through Sunday in coordination with other local law enforcement agencies.
The weekend patrol effort coincided with an annual event held at the Vigo County Fairgrounds. The Sheid Diesel Extravaganza draws large crowds and heavy traffic. Shawn Keen, chief of police, said the weekend activity was consistent with previous years during the diesel event. "Our officers responded to multiple calls to assist in the removal of large crowds from private parking lots. In more than one instance, bottles, cans and other items were thrown at police vehicles," Keen said. However, he noted that not all tickets and arrests were related to the event.
